Prince William rocked a rugged beard while serving lunch to the homeless during the holiday season.
The Prince of Wales stopped by The Passage charity organization in London on Thursday to lend a helping hand to volunteers, per a video posted to his and Kate Middleton’s official Instagram account.
His growing facial hair was on full display as he happily threw on a white apron over his blue sweater and got to work.
William, 42, was seen sitting and chatting with attendees while appearing to be extremely invested in their stories.
Before heading out, he also took a few photos with the volunteers.
“A sincere thank you to all the @passagecharity volunteers working tirelessly to support those experiencing homelessness, especially during the festive season,” read the video’s caption.
“Acts of kindness, like serving Christmas lunches, brings hope and fosters a sense of community for those who need it most,” the caption continued.
Over the summer, William debuted his facial hair in a video honoring Team Great Britain at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
At the time, the father of three left fans in a frenzy, with several begging him to keep the beard permanently.
Sure enough, the father of three flaunted his rugged look at the “Homelessness: Reframed” exhibition hosted at the Saatchi Gallery in September.
He and his beard also attended an event at the Swiss Valley Primary School in Llanelli, Wales, that same month.
While fans adore William’s beard, he shared that his 9-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte, initially wasn’t a fan of his new look.
“Charlotte didn’t like it the first time. I got floods of tears … so I had to shave it off,” he told People in November.
“Then, I grew it back. … I convinced her it was going to be OK.”
William shares Charlotte and sons Prince George, 11, and Prince Louis, 6, with Kate Middleton.
Last month, a lip reader claimed the Princess of Wales said she finds her husband’s beard “rousing.”
